Greeting Cards

We carry a variety of art greeting cards that feature both heartfelt and "snarky" messages for any occasion. And for the daring, be sure to ask to see the "drawers". What's found there is about the most popular thing around here these days!

The art is the result of a mixed media process that includes original painting, digital imaging, vintage family photographs, and the artist's own meandering prose.

Art

How to select a piece of art...nothing stuffy or difficult here, just ask yourself:

1. Do I love it?

2. Do I have a place for it?

3. Is it in my price range?

That's it!

We feature several local artists in a wide price range, from original one of a kind pieces, to numbered prints and copies. Of course original works pictured on our website are subject to prior sale.

Just a few more samples of the many treasures offered.

Like life in general, our goods are always changing. Our best advice is to just drop in from time to time and explore what's new. We'll have the coffee on!

Why Local?

It's the feeling you get when you meet face to face. It's a shared laugh, a story...live chat. It's your neighborhood, your community supporting you, and you them. And that's a beautiful thing. I SUPPORT LOCAL.
